Having just joined the England team for FIFA Days in October, Jack Grealish shared the good news of becoming a father for the first time, after his girlfriend Sasha Attwood gave birth to a baby girl.
Grealish and Sasha, who have been together since childhood and have been together for 10 years, announced the birth of Mila, with a photo of her holding her finger tightly with the words "Mila Rose Grealish 27.09.24", implying that the girl was born last month.
The couple received many good wishes from Grealish's teammates, in which Declan Rice shared a heart emojison.
Former star Dele Alli briefly wrote "Congratulations" with a series of heart emojis, while Ross Barkley also wrote: "Congratulations, boy".
Aston Villa star Ian Taylor wrote: "Congratulations, guys! ".
Former Grealish teammate at Villa Park, Gabriel Agbonlahor, also wrote a similar congratulatory message, while former Dutch player Tim Krul, posted a flame and heart icon.
Grealish played for Manchester City on 28 September in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at St James' Park. That means he played just one day after Mila was born.
In July, Jack and Sasha made a move to look forward to the day of giving birth when the model showed off her pregnant belly.
She shared the good news on social media with the caption: "H half of me, half of you - it's lucky."
While Grealish, 28, wrote: "Life's greatest blessing."
Despite her pregnancy, Sasha still spent most of her time experimenting with different types of outfits and giving advice and tips to other mothers-to-be.
She signed a bustling contract with PrettyLittleThing in the summer and began advertising the brand's pregnancy outfits to thousands of followers on her personal page.
Grealish, who returned to the England team after the EURO pain, and Sasha started dating when they were teenagers studying together at Solihull.
Sasha has been with Grealish throughout his football career - from Aston Villa to Manchester in a £100 million deal in 2021.
Sasha, also 28, helped Grealish abandon a partying lifestyle and now has a family, welcoming their child to a £5.6 million Cheshire villa with their beloved dreamy cockapoo Skye.
Skye was a birthday gift from Sasha to Grealish and he called it "the best dog in the world".
They also enjoy a lavish lifestyle including 5-star vacation to places like Sardinia and Dubai.
Grealish and England will face Greece and Finland in League B UEFA Nations League this month.
